American Prosperity Shines Bright but Economy Needs Strong Growth

Douglas Holtz-Eakin

In today’s The Hill, AAF President Douglas Holtz-Eakin writeson the need for a pro-growth economic policy agenda. See excerpt below:

“More rapid innovation and investment is not an abstract economic ideal. It is a direct path toward higher wages for American workers, the ingredient missing from the economy for the past decade. But sustained higher growth is not yet assured, as it faces threats from the federal budget, disruptions in global trade, and the failure to move forward with immigration reform. The CBO baseline projections are a daunting reminder of the threat posed by future deficits and debt.”
